SEC Seeks to Overturn Court’s Ruling on XRP

SEC Seeks to Overturn Court’s Ruling on XRP

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed an opening brief in its appeal of a New York District Court’s 2023 ruling on XRP, a cryptocurrency at the center of a legal battle between the regulator and Ripple Labs Inc.

The SEC is appealing a judge’s decision that XRP, when sold to retail investors, does not qualify as an unregistered security. The regulator argues that the judge misinterpreted the law and that XRP’s sales to retail investors should be considered an unregistered securities offering.

In her ruling, the judge concluded that XRP transactions involving retail investors were not securities, while institutional sales of XRP were classified as securities. The SEC, however, argues that this distinction is flawed and should be reconsidered.

The regulator also contends that XRP tokens distributed as employee compensation and through business deals should be classified as securities.

Lawyers for Ripple have lashed out at the SEC for pursuing an appeal – what they’ve called an exercise in repeating previously rejected arguments.

Stuart Alderoty, Chief Legal Officer at Ripple, emphasized on his social media that the commission’s filing was merely a rehash of prior claims, which he had said had already been lost previously.

Brad Garlinghouse, chief executive at the company, also waded in to suggest the appeal would be dropped by the next administration.

This sentiment is rooted in Ripple’s belief that the appeal is unlikely to change the trajectory of the case, especially with the incoming political shift.

Reports suggest that the new administration under President Donald Trump may take a more lenient approach to crypto regulation, possibly freezing ongoing cases like Ripple’s.

In the filing, the SEC reiterated that Ripple’s promotional activities of XRP were an investment contract as defined by the Howey test—the legal standard to determine if an asset is a security.

According to the SEC, retail investors who bought XRP on exchanges would expect to anticipate profit from such purchases due to such actions by Ripple.

However, Ripple has argued that the SEC failed to show sufficient evidence of the actual participation of retail investors in the promotion efforts of Ripple and any promises of such promotion.

Despite an appeal from the SEC, for the first time since 2018, the market value of XRP has crossed the $3 mark.

This is reflected in growing investors’ confidence in the futility of these efforts by the SEC, with many speculating on a possible reversal of the current agency stance into a more amicable one by the new administration, hence an increase in the price of XRP.

Other factors driving the price upwards include positive sentiments in the wide operations of Ripple, which encompasses new deals and adoption of its blockchain technology in financial markets.

Most recently, it has been the expansion into DeFi and cross-border payment solutions that have given a fillip to the utility and therefore the appeal of the token.

The case has continued to stir wide-ranging debate over how digital assets ought to be regulated in the U.S. as more cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology begin to gain broad traction.

Lawyers closely watch the case because a positive outcome for Ripple might establish binding case law that will go against the more general cryptocurrency regulation at the SEC.

With appeals still in the works, both the cryptocurrency industry and regulators are gearing up for a moment that could prove to be the turning point in how U.S. laws regulate cryptocurrencies.
